TED Controversy: Science or Pseudoscience?

Seattle IONS June Meeting

TED removed two videos of TEDx Whitechapel (in London), "The Science Delusion" by Rupert Sheldrake and "The War on Consciousness" by Graham Hancock, from TEDx's YouTube channel, and the controversy erupted in March.

The continuing disputes and discussions surrounding this incident bring up many rich and important issues for us Noetics—among them: "science vs pseudoscience," "militant atheist and censorship," "science of consciousness," and "science and spirituality."

Since we explored different ways to have a conversation during our last two gatherings, this time we will attempt to engage in a Field 3 Dialogue—reflective inquiry rather than debate—to tackle this complex topic.

Hope you could join us.

So much materials for this topic on the web, but you could start with these:
